[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 800955, member: 325666"] I'm a little confused by what is actually required here .. Exactly what socket is fitted on the projector ? VGA is a 15 pin D type connector whereas component is usually 3 phono connectors colour coded Red Green and Blue Capable of carrying HD video only and no sound up to a resolution of 720p VGA signal on a D type connector also carries only video ...so other arrangements have to be made to carry the audio ..which presumably isn't a problem in this case as most likely the audio is routed to a surround audio system Leads do exist to connect hdmi outputs to component phono inputs ..and are availble on ebay.. So if this is what you have ..ie phono inputs for component on your projector ..then any sat box with hdmi out ..plus optical or phono outs will do the job.. What exactly is the input method on the projector ? The only problem I can see is if the hdmi output is protected ie hdmi 1.3 compliant ..thus requiring a handshake signal .. I don't think this applies with freesat ..so you might be ok . That sort of copyright protected signal is usually confined to movie channels and PPV. rgds VS This hdmi to component cable even has audio breakout... _http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/20710179/DIGIFLEX-HDMI-Male-To-5-RCA-RGB-Audio-Video-AV-Component-Cable/Product.html?_%24ja=tsid:11518%7Ccat:20710179%7Cprd:20710179 [/QUOTE]
